   It's realistic; the author is a member of a rescue team and has participated in numerous large-scale simulations. The setting intersects with both reality and Tarkov, so even those who haven't played Tarkov can enjoy it. It's clearly written and can be considered a real world rather than a game.

   Reader note

   This is a niche book about a reborn individual who finds himself in the body of a Russian soldier in 1993. The story takes place in Russia. The last novel I read set in Russia was a WWII-era artifact research novel, also a niche book. The writing was quite good, and the content was rather unusual, as readers rarely encounter the experiences of a Russian soldier in 1993, shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union. As a bookworm of over twenty years, I'm constantly experiencing a reading slump. I'm tired of the authors on the online novel charts; I can predict the plot from the very beginning, so I lose interest. Now I'm desperately searching for niche books. I've recently read several stories about abused elderly women being reborn, one about a lawyer, and another about a rural family hosting a grand feast. I read this novel today and found it quite enjoyable; I plan to follow it for a while.

    Exciting, captivating, and increasingly enjoyable! Kai Zhongkan's novels, starting with "The Path of Feng Shui Cultivation," followed by "One Man and One Mouse Cultivate Immortality," and then "Mecha Immortality: Invincible from Exile to Mars," have now concluded. These three books form a cultivation trilogy. Now, he's back with a new book, but this time it's not about cultivation. Instead, it focuses on things closer to home: feng shui, human nature, kung fu, strategic planning, breaking through barriers, the eight major martial arts sects, and his journey of overcoming obstacles to build a business empire and leverage regional military power… This new book is called "The Hidden Game of Horsemanship," where "horsemanship" represents feng shui, and "hidden game of human nature" encapsulates the world. The book's message: In this world, the human heart is more terrifying than ghosts. But you cannot be afraid; if you are, you lose.
